Taken directly from the wiki "the playable area abruptly ends at 30,000,000 meters, and fake chunks (they are not solid, they can be fallen through) start generating. A sure sign that one has reached the edge of the map is that lighting no longer works past the 30,000,000th mark."
This is true, but untrue. After a certain distance, the MC world "drops off" It creates a "farland" separated by void space. The cube that is the map before dropping off like that is a bit bigger in size than the planet Venus.
Not anymore.

I have discovered a truly remarkable proof of this, which this margin is too small to contain.

This is how long a Minecraft world is: 3.3~ miles long (AKA infinite). It just renders random biomes and structures. That's why when you use the /tp command and request to teleport to a far distance, it sends you to the void instead of land.
The world stops generating ores, lighting, flowers, snow, trees, even hit boxes, everything stops generating but caves and grass/stone at 30,000,000 blocks out, both positive and negative 30,000,000. So that means its 60,000,000x60,000,000 blocks wide. Which is 3,600,000,000,000,000 blocks (or meters) surface area. Then the height which I would average at 68.
Wow that seems too smart to be right. Well correct me about anything if I'm wrong
EDIT: If you go too far out, you WILL get stuck and you won't be able to do anything. I've found it to be around 40,000,000 blocks out each way. If you have single player commands, then you wont be able to open up the chat thing either. Correct me if I'm wrong about this too.
You are right, the minecraft versions 1.8+ glitch out and you can't move 24 blocks out the limit, but the new limit is actually 32,000.000 blocks out when the ssp became a server.
The old limit (1.7-) actually used to be 2,146,483,439 blocks out which when passing that limit crashed the game.

3.3 miles??? That is no where near infinite! Every single number is the same distance to infinity.
It does not have the ability to go on and on, it will generate for quite a distance but the code and programming is not designed for you to walk infinitely and the chunks will be loaded quite strangely. Unlike TagasiCraft, the server I play on where we have WorldGuard along with 40+ other plugins like Towny, mcMMO, etc.
